With 128 cores, high memory bandwidth, and advanced I/O, Intel Xeon 6 processors are powerful enough to tackle even the most challenging AI, HPC, and data analytics jobs.

MSI has created new server systems based on the OCP Datacenter Modular Hardware System (DC-MHS) design. These new servers have DC-SCM hardware management cards for modular server management and easier OpenBMC firmware development. They are equipped with Intel Xeon 6 processors with P-cores. For modern cloud service providers and data centers, they are ideal because they offer efficient cooling and flexible administration.

The D3071 DC-MHS M-DNO Type-2 Host Processor Module, which features a solitary Intel Xeon 6 processor, is the basis of two MSI SKUs intended for high-density core-compute servers: the 2U 2-node CD270-S3071-X2 and the 3U 2-node CD370-S3071-X2 series. These systems are optimized for compute-intensive activities and designed to support TDP 500W CPUs with air cooling. Optimal thermal performance is another goal they have.

MSI provides a broad range of server platforms using Intel Xeon 6 processors to meet the demands of enterprises today and in the future. These platforms range from cloud-scalable, energy-efficient systems to high-performance AI solutions.

The cost of an Intel Xeon 6

Prices for Intel Xeon 6 CPUs vary according to the model, cache size, clock speed, and number of cores. Prices change based on availability and market conditions.

Costs overall:

  • Beginning: $300–$1000. For light and general-purpose tasks, these CPUs work well.
  • $1000 to $3000 is the midpoint. High-performance computing and data centers can benefit from these CPUs.
  • High-end: Costs exceed $3000, usually in the range of several thousand. These CPUs are best suited for scientific simulations, AI, and massive data analytics.

P-core-enabled Intel Xeon 6900-series servers optimized for AI, cloud computing, edge computing, and IOT from GIGABYTE

Giga Computing, a GIGABYTE subsidiary and pioneer in the market for generative AI systems and cutting-edge cooling solutions, introduced today the first wave of GIGABYTE servers for Intel Xeon 6 Processors with P-cores. The goal of the new Intel Xeon platform is to optimize per-core performance for workloads that heavily rely on computing and artificial intelligence as well as general purpose applications. GIGABYTE servers are made to optimize performance for certain workloads by tailoring the server architecture to the chip design and workload in question.

The Intel Xeon 6900

All new GIGABYTE servers support Intel Xeon 6900-series CPUs with P-cores up to 128 cores and up to 96 PCIe Gen5 lanes. In addition, the 6900-series provides extensible 12 channel memory and up to 64 lanes of CXL 2.0 for enhanced performance in memory-intensive activities. All things considered, this modular SOC architecture shows great promise because it can execute design optimized for speed and economy using a shared platform.

Single-socket servers with many uses

R164 Series: Compact 1U chassis with one Intel Xeon 6 CPU and two GPU slots. The storage solution, which offers 12x 2.5′′ bays or 4x 3.5′′/2.5′′ bays for SAS, NVMe, and SATA disks, is the main focus of the server type.

R264 Series: This series supports up to 4x dual-slot Gen5 GPUs in addition to a single CPU and now comes with a 2U chassis.

General Purpose Dual-Socket Servers

R184 Series: With a higher compute density split between two CPU sockets, this series provides storage possibilities that are comparable to those of the R164 series. Consequently, it does not support dual-slot GPUs and gives the expansion slots less priority.

R284 Series: With a 2U chassis, the added height of the server enables the integration of two GPU slots and two CPU sockets. The R284 series of devices provides 12x 3.5″/2.5″ mixed storage options or up to 24x 2.5″ Gen5 drives.

Edge Servers

E264 Series: For customers who choose a short chassis depth, this series keeps the option of having a 2U form factor to host a single CPU and up to four dual-slot GPUs. The server depth has decreased by more than 200 mm as compared to general-purpose servers, although overall compute performance may still be preserved at the cost of fewer storage bays.

The CPU computing is given priority in the E284 series, which has double CPU socket design. It offers a wide range of I/O options with its six FHHL extension slots and two OCP NIC 3.0 ports.

NVIDIA MGX modular servers

XV24 Line: Supporting up to four NVIDIA L40S GPUs, this new twin socket series is an NVIDIA OVX optimized server architecture that also provides additional FHFL slots for NICs and DPUs.

High density, multi-node servers

H374 Series: For the largest density of CPU computing capacity, this series offers up to eight CPU sockets spaced across four nodes. Additionally, each node features four low-profile expansion slots and two or six 2.5′′ bays.

Motherboards designed for servers

MA34 Series: With an abundance of I/O options, the MA34-CP0 is a top-notch server board. Along with a plethora of MCIO 8i and SlimSAS connections, it has one OCP NIC 3.0 slot and four Gen5 expansion ports.

GIGABYTE never stops pushing the boundaries of server innovation in order to meet the evolving demands of modern computing. The new servers, built on Intel Xeon 6900-series processors, are designed to empower enterprises across a range of industries with their unmatched speed, flexibility, and efficiency.

GIGABYTE is committed to keeping its server designs current with the newest advancements in processor technology because AI, cloud computing, and edge technologies are becoming more and more vital to sectors, ensuring that its clients are ready to meet the challenges of the future.

With more research and development into the Intel Xeon 6 platform's capability, GIGABYTE will have systems capable of handling a broad variety of workloads and vertical sectors. In addition, GIGABYTE intends to release a new server in the upcoming months that integrates Intel Gaudi 3 GPUs. This scalable and cost-effective method aims to target AI workloads, particularly generative AI inference workloads. Visitors can also expect to see it at SC24 in Atlanta.
